Ostia Antica: the treasures of Imperial Rome

A few miles from Rome lies Ostia Antica, one of the most emblematic archaeological sites of ancient Rome and once commercial center of the Empire.
The ancient name of the city is “Ostia Tiberina”, or “Porta del Tevere”, after the legend of Romulus and Remus, found and suckled by the she-wolf.
Excavations in the area of Ostia Antica began in the 18^th century and to this day it is the third most visited archaeological site in Italy, mainly due to extraordinary ancient masterpieces recently brought to light in new and important areas just discovered.
Along with Herculaneum and Pompeii, its remains are the best example in the world of a Roman city able to educate tourists and visitors about life in Rome, the birth and decline of its millenary Empire.

This tour offers roundtrip transportation from your hotel in Rome, from one of the main railway stations (Termini or Tiburtina) or from the two airports of the city (Fiumicino and Ciampino). An accessible private van will take you this unique archeological site to allow you to enjoy ancient theaters, houses and baths and pretend to live the daily life of Ancient Rome.
Our bilingual guide, expert in art history, will lead you through an accessible path designed specifically to help you discover the history of this important archaeological site.
The driveway, in fact, is entirely accessible by wheelchair and reaches the Ostiense Museum, which preserves the statues and sarcophagi discovered on the site.
Along the way, before the museum, also accessible, you can visit the Piazzale delle Corporazioni, which housed the offices of the merchant guilds of Ostia, decorated with well-preserved mosaics.
